During your matriculation through college, you learn A LOT outside of what's in books. What's something valuable that you ascertained? Fill in the blank_____!

"I want to start by giving thanks to God for his unwavering blessings and for allowing me to overcome each obstacle I have faced. Secondly, I thank my family and friends for being such a strong support system over the years. Lastly, to that little black boy from the Northside of Huntsville, Alabama, who chose a different path in life: YOU DID IT! Even when the odds were against you. This is for those who may come behind me; let this be visible proof of your future’s potential. It is hard to be what you cannot see. I hope to be the mentor and healthcare provider our community needs. Less than 3% of Physician Associates are black, with an even smaller percentage being black males. I don’t take lightly this accomplishment as I know what it is worth‼️I am officially PA the PA and soon to be Dr. Alexander in May of 2024!"

I want to thank God for guiding me and keeping me throughout my college career. I’ve overcome so much within these 4 years and I made it. I want to thank my family and friends for always being there for me. Let the journey continue…"

It's November 6, 1993 and SC State traveled up to Howard riding a 5-game winning streak looking to take control of the MEAC. The Bulldogs had hopes to secure a spot in the Heritage Bowl or make the Div 1-AA playoffs. But the Bison knocked off the Bulldogs 30-14 in-route to their first 9-0 start in 99 years. Star QB Jay "Sky" Walker was lighting up the MEAC, and these SC State students captured this moment post-game.
